1U 10-Inch Cantilever Shelf

This 1U vented cantilever shelf mounts in any standard 10-inch server rack or cabinet. It provides a sturdy platform for non-rackmount devices such as routers, switches, power strips and small AV components. The tray measures 9.92 inches wide by 10.23 inches deep with a 1.75 inch height profile. It is built from cold-rolled steel with a black finish.

10-Inch Rack Standard Limits

The shelf fits only 10-inch rack mounts and will not install in 19-inch racks or cabinets. Its cantilever design supports equipment up to 22 pounds (10 kg) when mounted to the front rails. Ventilation holes across the tray surface promote airflow around mounted devices to assist cooling. Installation requires the included 10-32 screws and cage nuts.

Upgrade From Improvised Storage

This shelf replaces makeshift stacking or floor placement of small network gear inside a 10-inch enclosure. The jump is worth it when you need secure, ventilated mounting for devices that lack rack ears. It is not for installers working with 19-inch rack infrastructure or those needing deeper shelves for larger appliances.

Questions about this item

Which depth should I pick — the 10.23" or the 7.87" cantilever shelf?

Choose the 10.23" depth when you need maximum tray space for deeper non-rackmount gear; pick the 7.87" version if the cabinet is shallow or you want to preserve rear clearance for cables.

What does the 22 lb rating mean once the shelf is mounted in a 10" rack?

The cold-rolled steel tray can hold up to 22 lbs (10 kg) of equipment — routers, switches, power strips or small accessories — without bending, provided the load is evenly distributed across the 9.92" x 10.23" surface.

How does the 10" EIA mounting pattern limit what racks I can use?

The included brackets and 10-32 hardware only align with 10" rack rails; they will not fit 19" racks, so the shelf is restricted to 10" cabinets and enclosures.
